Mode oe securing staples to walls

MODEOF SEGURING STAILES T WALLS.

speciecatiqn of Letters Patent No. 11,383, dated .my 25, 1854.

To all whom it 'mld/y concern d Be it known that I, JORDAN L. Mo'ivr, of Mott Haven, New York, have invented an Improvement in Cast-Iron Anchorsfor. Se*` curing Hinge `Staples and Eyes in `Walls, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description, reference being` had to the accompanying drawings, making` part of this specification, in which- Figure l, is a perspective view of the `improved: anchor with a staple; Fig.` 2, a vertical section thereof through the staple and wall; Fig. 3, another section atright angles to Fig. 2.

The same letters indicate like partsin all the gures. y l

Wrought iron hinge staples, or eyes, for doors and gates', have heretoforebeen se- `cured in walls by means of wings or flat stems made of wrought iron, built in the mason work, but these wings or stems, which` are forged extensions of the staple, do not form a secure connect-ion with the wall, `and soon become loose.

The object of my invention is so to form the anchor that it will constitute an integral part of the wall, and afford a secure andpermanent `support for the staple or eye; and to this end my invention consists in `making the anchor of cast `iron cast onto the shank1 of the staple or eye, with the partca-st `onto the wrought iron shank of the staple made in the form and dimensions of the end of a brick or stone used in constructing the mason work, and with thin wings projecting t-here-` from, `and provided with ribs or ianches to be interlocked with the mason work.

In the accompanying drawings c repre sents thewrought iron staple for a hinge with its shank b secured by casting thereon `a block `of metal c, representing in form and dimensions the end ofja brick or stonesuch as may be used for the mason Work ci, in which it is to be built. rlhis block of metal c, is cast with a wing c, extending therefrom at one side` and at the back, the under side being flush with the bottom `of the block; and it should be `made thin, the upper edge thereof being providedwith a flanoh or rim f, extending all around, and with ribs 71 h, forming a. hollow extension of the block `adapted to the reception of a wrought iron staple or an eye, if desired.

It will be seen, that when the anchor is l builtin a wall, as represented in Fig.` 2, that the block c, cast onto the shank, secures ample support toV the shank, which cannot become loose therein, Ithe contraction of the cast" iron, in` cooling, having the effect thoroughly to'draw itself tight, `while the thin wing which extends into the wall, and1 which is interlocked therewith by the flanches or ribs, and by the apertures for the reception of the mortar `or cement, effectually binds the anchor, so that it cannot be drawn out or shaken loose.

Ido not wish to be understood as limiting myself to any special dimensions of the parts, so long as the block c, is made of sutlicient size to hold and give the required support to the shank of the staple, and thewing with its anches or ribs', ismade of sufficient proportional size to be thoroughly interlocked with the wall, and to sustain the su perincumbent weight thereof, to hold it firmly in place.

I do not claim the union of cast and wrought iron by running the molten iron onto the wrought iron, as this has long since been known and used. But

What I do claim as my invention and de sire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Forming the anchor of ablock cast onto the shank of a wrought iron staple, or eye, and provid-ed with a thin wing having flanohes or ribs, all cast and forming one substance with the block substantially as specified, whereby the cast ironV part shall hold the shank firmly, and at the same time become an integral part of the mason work,

and be liirmly held therein by the superini cumbent weight as described.
